I met a guy,
And when he looks at me
I know he sees
Him and me
Down the road
When we're old
Sitting' on that back porch
Drinkin' sweet tea
Or maybe whiskey;
Him and me
Down the road
Livin' in an airstream
Like gypsies
Blown from place to place
Never stayin' settled too long;
Him and me
Down the road
Hand in hand
Watchin' our
Sons become fathers,
Daughters become mothers,
But always our children
No matter how old they get;
Him and me
Down the road
Side by side
Six feet under
With his epitaph that reads
"Her and me forever."
And mine that reads
"What he said."

Candle

Your love is like a candle
Covering me with its dim glow
It flickers, it falters
And one day it will burn out
Your love is like a candle
It is dangerous if mishandled
From afar, it looks beautiful
View it up close, and it will burn
But I only have you, my candle
Without you, my life is dark
The melted wax scars my hands
Yet I will not let go
I cannot let go
O pretty little flower,
I pick you,
you are the beauty,
the one,
the one I want
to take home
& treasure
for an eternity.

O pretty little flower,
I pick you,
you are the one,
the one
that makes
my heart beat
forever.

O pretty little flower,
I want your
precious petals
to grace my face.
Yes, you are the one.
i will bide my time
here,
with you my
love,
for it was you,

who came with,
the gift of love.
to my barricaded
door
and knocked gentle
and soothed my
unruly mind.

you came with a box, wrapped, in compassion
and tied with, ribbons of joy

and inside...
hope, on the wings
of butterflys.

i will bide with you,
my love,
i will bide with you.
I want to smile
I want to be non judgemental
I want to be unconditional
I want to be loved
I want to be cared
I want to help
I want to be useful
I want to be functional
I want to be happy

Bring me the torch
I'll fix this in no time
Daddy would say

Fix the tv first
If you can'
Mommy says

Man what a waste of time
We would say

And yet the home
Which we call it
Sometimes
Integrated under one roof
Together
In one being
Laughing together
Frowning together
Eating under one candle
One.
So thank you power guy
You may not know this
But you favour us in ways
Unimaginable.
One.
By Faith, you answered when God called you.
By Faith,, you follow Christ and his teachings.
By Faith, you became a child of the Living God.
By Faith, you have put your trust in Christ.
By Faith, you lay down your will to pick up his.
By Faith, you obeyed God and quit being rebellious.
By Faith, you have become healed and delivered.
